LIVE UPDATES: Raiders look to stay undefeated when they take on Saints

LIVE UPDATES: Raiders aim to remain undefeated against Saints The Las Vegas Raiders, still unbeaten, head to the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday to face the Saints in their second straight road game. Las Vegas comes off a 26‑14 victory at the Los Angeles Chargers and may receive a boost from tight end Brock Bowers. Bowers was listed as questionable after undergoing knee surgery before the season opener, but early reports indicate he will play against New Orleans. The contest marks the home opener for the Saints, who enter the game with a 1‑1 record. Quarterback Tyler Shough leads the league with an average of 331 passing yards per game. *Note: This is a developing story. Check back for updates.* **O’Connell to miss second straight game** The Raiders have officially ruled Aidan O’Connell out of Sunday’s matchup with the Saints. O’Connell has not been with the team for more than a week following the death of his father. The club had previously listed him as questionable on Friday, hoping he could join the squad in New Orleans. Head coach Klint Kubiak said, “Our prayers are with Aidan and his family, and we miss him,” and added, “Can’t hold to get him back. He’s a immense portion of our team, and we love him.” — Adam Hill **Last meeting** On Dec. 29, 2024, the Raiders shut out the Saints in the second half to secure a 25‑10 win in a game between two teams finishing disappointing seasons. Ameer Abdullah rushed for 115 yards, the only time he has topped the 100‑yard mark in his career. Aidan O’Connell passed for 242 yards and threw touchdowns to Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker. The defense recorded three sacks and intercepted Spencer Rattler twice. — Adam Hill **Raiders vs. Saints: TV and streaming information** - Kickoff: 1:25 p.m. - Venue: Caesars Superdome, New Orleans - Television: CBS (Chris Lewis play‑by‑play, Luke Kuechly analyst) - Streaming: NFL+, Paramount+ - Radio: KRLV‑AM 920, KOMP‑FM 92.3 (Jason Horowitz play‑by‑play, Kirk Morrison analyst) **Raiders vs. Saints odds** - Point spread: Saints –3½ - Over/under: 43½ points - Moneyline: Raiders +151, Saints –179 Odds supplied by Caesars Sportsbook as of Sunday morning. **2026 Raiders schedule** - Week 1: W, 27‑13 vs. Miami Dolphins - Week 2: W, 26‑14 at Los Angeles Chargers - Week 3, Sunday: at New Orleans Saints, 1:25 p.m., CBS - Week 4, Oct. 4: vs. Kansas City Chiefs, 1:25 p.m., CBS - Week 5, Oct. 11: at New England Patriots, 10 a.m., CBS - Week 6, Oct. 18: vs. Buffalo Bills, 1:25 p.m., CBS - Week 7, Oct. 25: vs. Los Angeles Rams, 1:25 p.m., Fox - Week 8, Nov. 1: at New York Jets, 10 a.m., Fox - Week 9, Nov. 8: at San Francisco 49ers, 1:05 p.m., CBS - Week 10, Nov. 15: vs. Seattle Seahawks, 1:05 p.m., CBS - Week 11, Nov. 22: at Denver Broncos, 1:25 p.m., CBS - Week 12, Nov. 29: at Cleveland Browns, 10 a.m., Fox - Week 13, Dec. 6: Bye - Week 14, Dec. 13: vs. Los Angeles Chargers, 1:05 p.m., CBS - Week 15, Dec. 20: vs. Denver Broncos, 1:25 p.m., CBS - Week 16, Dec. 27: vs. Tennessee Titans, 1:05 p.m., Fox - Week 17, Jan. 3: at Arizona Cardinals, 1:05 p.m., Fox - Week 18, Jan. 9 or Jan. 10: at Kansas City Chiefs, time and network TBD
